Tom Willander Remains Out Monday
Vancouver Canucks defenseman Tom Willander (lower body) isn't ready to rejoin the lineup on Monday against the Philadelphia Flyers, according to Canucks play-by-play announcer Brendan Batchelor. After missing two games with a lower-body injury, Willander skated on Monday morning, but he still needs more recovery time. Since the Canucks won't play again until Friday, he could make his comeback in the next game. The Swedish sophomore has registered three assists, 12 SOG, 17 blocks, and 10 hits in 16 games. Impressively, he has an even rating on a team that sits at the bottom of the league with a 3-15-1 record and allows the most goals (4.58 per game).

Collin Murray-Boyles Questionable Vs. Grizzlies On Monday
Toronto Raptors forward/center Collin Murray-Boyles (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The 2025 first-round pick will be a game-time decision for Monday's game. Murray-Boyles is averaging 10.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game this season on 50.7 percent shooting from the field. Murray-Boyles has played in nine games this season and is averaging 22.1 minutes per game. He played 34 minutes in Toronto's game last Friday against the Milwaukee Bucks and scored 19 points with seven rebounds, two assists, four steals, and a blocked shot. Murray-Boyles is a valuable fantasy big man who contributes in points, rebounds, field-goal percentage as well as giving fantasy managers some nice defensive stats. Murray-Boyles could have a nice game against Memphis if he is feeling well enough to play.

Jake Ferguson Expected to Miss Multiple Weeks With Knee Injury
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (knee) "should miss multiple weeks," head coach Brian Schottenheimer told Joseph Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News. Ferguson initially suffered a stinger in the Week 9 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday before eventually being ruled out with a knee injury that will sideline him for the short term. The 27-year-old will at least miss the Week 10 game this Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers and could also be sidelined in Week 11 against the Tennessee Titans. The following week is a quick turnaround for the annual Thanksgiving Day game on Thursday, Nov. 26, against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles. If his knee injury lingers, Ferguson could be a candidate to land on Injured Reserve, which would require him to miss a minimum of four games. The former fourth-rounder is not a must-hold in shallow fantasy football leagues. Ferguson has four touchdown catches in nine games, but it has come with an underwhelming 19 receptions for 136 yards on 27 targets. In his absence, Brevyn Spann-Ford and Luke Schoonmaker (groin) will battle for more pass-game targets in Dallas.

Conor Garland Out Indefinitely With Upper-Body Injury
Columbus Blue Jackets right wing Conor Garland (upper body) is out indefinitely, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports. He will sit out his first game of the season on Tuesday against Florida, and it's unclear when Garland will be available to rejoin the action. Garland has been a huge disappointment this season, failing to score with 18 SOG and recording just one assist in 18 games. Columbus tweaked its lines at Monday's practice, giving Dmitri Voronkov a top-six position. This greatly increases his fantasy appeal, though managers shouldn't expect too much from Voronkov, as he has been underperforming this season.

Jordan Davis Acquired by the Jaguars
The Jacksonville Jaguars have been busy making moves with the NFL trade deadline coming on Tuesday. In their latest move to bolster the interior of their defensive line, Jacksonville acquired defensive tackle Jordan Davis from the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a package that includes a first-round pick, sources told NFL insider Jordan Schultz. Per ESPN, the Jags sent a 2027 first-rounder and a 2029 second-round pick for Davis after already acquiring safety Jessie Bates III from the Atlanta Falcons and defensive tackle Davon Godchaux from the New Orleans Saints on Monday. The 26-year-old Davis is under contract through the 2029 season after signing a three-year, $78 million contract extension earlier this year that included $64.4 million guaranteed. He is one of the best young interior pass-rushers in the league after posting career highs in sacks (4.5), tackles for loss (nine), QB hits (six), tackles (72), and passes defended (six) last year. Davis has not been as strong in 2026, but he will definitely be a boost for a Jaguars team that has a three-game lead in the AFC South going into a Week 10 divisional tilt against the Tennessee Titans.

Mathew Barzal Upgraded to Day-to-Day
New York Islanders forward Mathew Barzal (knee) will remain out Monday against the San Jose Sharks, but he has been upgraded to day-to-day. This suggests Barzal's season debut is near. He's missed all of the 2026-27 action so far due to a knee issue. Matias Maccelli (lower body) is now also day-to-day, meaning the Islanders' frontline could receive a big boost later this week. Barzal finished last season with 72 points (19 goals, 53 assists) in 81 games. He'll have plenty to offer fantasy teams once he's on the ice.

Alexander Wennberg Expected to Return Monday
San Jose Sharks center Alexander Wennberg (upper body) was activated from Injured Reserve and is expected to play against the New York Islanders on Monday night. He's been on the shelf for the past 10 games after sustaining an upper-body injury. Wennberg is projected to skate on the second line and will jump on the first power-play unit. So far this season, the Swedish veteran hasn't helped fantasy teams much. He has no goals and three assists in nine outings.

Puka Nacua Likely Going on Injured Reserve with Knee, Toe Injuries
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said on Monday that star wide receiver Puka Nacua (knee, toe) suffered an MCL/PCL sprain in his knee and turf toe in Sunday's Week 9 win over the Washington Commanders and is likely to go on Injured Reserve, according to Stu Jackson of the team's official website. This would be a massive blow for a Rams offense that is already missing veteran wideout Davante Adams (hamstring) and second-year tight end Terrance Ferguson (ankle). Without Nacua and Adams for the foreseeable future, L.A. will roll into a Week 10 divisional clash against the Arizona Cardinals with Konata Mumpfield, Tutu Atwell, and Jordan Whittington as their top three wideouts. Tight ends Tyler Higbee and Colby Parkinson might be their top pass-catchers going forward, although the Rams could swing a trade by Tuesday's deadline to give them some help as they wait for both Nacua and Adams to return. The 25-year-old Nacua has been an elite WR1 for fantasy managers up until his injuries on Sunday, catching 70 of his 93 targets for 715 yards and four touchdowns, but managers will now have to get creative for at least the next four games.

Alberts Smits Labeled Week-to-Week
New York Rangers defenseman Alberts Smits (upper body) is week-to-week and will miss his second consecutive game on Monday against the Edmonton Oilers. The Latvian rookie was a late scratch for Saturday's tilt against Seattle, and it's now been revealed that the Rangers might be without him for several weeks. 17 games into his NHL career, Smits is still looking for his first point. He has recorded eight SOG, 10 blocks, and 17 hits. The Rangers recalled Marc Del Gaizo from the minors to bolster their defensive depth. Sean Durzi (undisclosed) has also been missing from their blue line recently.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Available Versus Rangers
Edmonton Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (face) will play on Monday night against the New York Rangers, Jamie Umbach of the Oilers' official site reports. Nugent-Hopkins took a puck to the face in Saturday's win over Vancouver and couldn't finish the game. Fortunately for the Oilers, the veteran won't miss any additional time. Nugent-Hopkins has made a big impact offensively this season, notching four goals and seven assists in nine games. He's posted four multi-point performances in his last six outings, making Nugent-Hopkins a very attractive fantasy option.

Gardner Minshew II Undergoing Tests on Elbow/Arm
The Arizona Cardinals are doing tests on quarterback Gardner Minshew II (elbow, arm) on his right elbow/arm after he took a blow at the end of the first half in Sunday's Week 9 loss to the division-rival Seattle Seahawks, according to Darren Urban of the team's official website. The NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that there is a chance that Minshew will miss Sunday's Week 10 contest against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, according to head coach Mike LaFleur. With Jacoby Brissett now in Baltimore, rookie QB Carson Beck would be next in line to start if Minshew is not cleared to play this weekend. The 30-year-old Minshew predictably fell flat on Sunday on the road in a hostile environment against one of the best defenses in the NFL, throwing for 166 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions on 21-for-30 passing. He will be a desperation option in two-QB superflex leagues again in Week 10 if he plays in another tough matchup against a Rams defense that now has All-Pro pass-rusher Myles Garrett back. Lowering Minshew's fantasy value even further is the news that top receiver Michael Wilson is out for the year with a neck injury.

Brandon Aiyuk Reinstated From Reserve/Left Squad
The NFL has reinstated San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk from the Reserve/Left Squad list, per Tom Pelissero of The Ringer. Pelissero also reports that the league has granted San Francisco a two-week roster exemption, giving the team a brief window to make a roster move. Aiyuk has not appeared in an NFL game since tearing his ACL midway through the 2024 season. While he is apparently healthy and looking to get back into the league, it seems unlikely that he'll be welcomed back in San Francisco after essentially abandoning the team for the 2025 campaign. Aiyuk was a very productive player in his last fully healthy season in 2023, recording 75 catches for 1,342 yards and seven touchdowns on 105 targets across 16 games. Aiyuk could be worth stashing in deeper fantasy leagues just in case he winds up in a new situation and gets back on the field for the second half of the 2026 season.

Odell Beckham Jr. Signed to Vikings Active Roster Ahead of MNF
The Minnesota Vikings have signed veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to their active roster ahead of their Week 9 matchup against the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. After opening the 2026 season with the New York Giants, Beckham Jr. has spent most of the year on the Vikings' practice squad but has yet to see game action. The 34-year-old played in three games with the Giants to start the year, but saw just one target and did not record a reception. With Vikings wideout Jauan Jennings (calf) out against Buffalo, Beckham Jr. could be Minnesota's WR3 behind star wideouts Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. It's been a while since Beckham Jr. held any fantasy relevance, as he was out of the NFL in 2025 and recorded just nine catches across nine games with the Miami Dolphins in 2024. Still, he could be worth adding in deeper fantasy leagues if he plays well against the Bills on Monday night.

Michael Wilson Out for Season with Neck Injury
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson (neck) is expected to miss the remainder of the 2026 season with a neck injury, per Darren Urban of azcardinals.com. While the exact nature of Wilson's injury is not yet clear, it's apparently a serious enough issue that it will sideline him for an extended period of time. The 26-year-old has been Arizona's WR1 in 2026, recording 51 catches for 546 yards and two touchdowns on 88 targets across nine games. While the Cardinals still have star tight end Trey McBride as the top option in their passing game, the team's wide receiver room is now in dire straits. With Wilson and veteran wideout Kendrick Bourne (ankle) out, Arizona's wide receiver depth chart is currently topped by the uninspiring trio of Devin Duvernay, Simi Fehoko, and Reggie Virgil. Virgil was the most productive of the three in the Cardinals' Week 9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, recording one catch for 25 yards on four targets.

Ja'Kobi Lane a Deep-League Stash Candidate Following QB Change
Across five games in 2026, Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane has recorded nine catches for 89 yards on 14 targets. Like the rest of the Ravens offense, Lane had a miserable day in Baltimore's Week 9 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, going without a target or a reception. However, the Ravens should get better quarterback play going forward after trading for veteran signal-caller Jacoby Brissett. While Brissett can't replace the injured Lamar Jackson (thumb), his presence may lead to Baltimore becoming a more pass-heavy team. Across 20 starts over the last two seasons with the Arizona Cardinals, Brissett has averaged 39.5 pass attempts per game. If Brissett continues his high-volume passing in Baltimore, Lane could be the beneficiary. In deeper fantasy leagues, Lane could be worth stashing off the waiver wire ahead of Baltimore's Week 10 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.
